I checked the appropriate boxes in the "Desktop configuration window" but i only got the icon of the CDburner... So I looked into the media/: folder and found that my CDplayer is detected like a hard drive (icon and name !!!).

That is odd.  Did you notice that your CDburner is "ro".  Might not have 
anything to do with this problem.

The icons are supposedly determined by the device.  I have my CDplayer: 
"/dev/cdrom" which is a link to the the actual device (/dev/hdc) and it 
shows up correctly.

Regarding the CDburner, this is the code:

	if ( devNode.find("cdwriter")!=-1 || 	
	mountPoint.find("cdwriter")!=-1
	  || devNode.find("cdrecorder")!=-1 ||
	mountPoint.find("cdrecorder")!=-1
	  || devNode.find("cdburner")!=-1 ||
	mountPoint.find("cdburner")!=-1
	  || devNode.find("cdrw")!=-1 || mountPoint.find("cdrw")!=-1
	   )
	{
		mimeType = "media/cdwriter";
		label = i18n("CD Recorder");
	}

It lists "cdrw" so I can't see why it wouldn't work.  But, you might try 
one of the other ones.
